Well, it's been several weeks, and the NFL and College Football seasons are a few more weeks underway, the Major League Baseball season has ended, Scooby Doo Camp Scare came out on DVD, and the new live action Scooby movie will air on October 16th at 7 PM.
Oh, and tonight is the return of new episodes of Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, and tonight's episode is called "Howl Of the Fright Hound", and needless to say after the show's All Star/Mid Season Break, this will be an interesting way to resume the series, as it looks like Scooby Doo himself is going to jail, yes Scooby Doo in jail, an occurance that doesn't sound good at all.
Again, this will be a random live blog, with my comments throughout regarding tonight's episode, by the way, when I post this the episode will have aired on the west coast, so everybody will have seen it(except for Alaska and Hawaii) by now.
Yes ladies and gentlemen it has happened, Shaggy and Velma have broken up, at least for now; i'm a bit dissapointed by this development as it is a fairly significant development in fans of the Shaggy/Velma pairing.
While the two of them have broken up and I am dissapointed, this is nowhere near the end of Shaggy/Velma; the thing about this pairing is that the breakup is sort of a blessing in disguise, Velma and Shaggy will get a chance to date other people, but as usual things will not work out with each person and their respective new people in their lives, which means Shaggy and Velma will eventually drift back to each other and the two of them will start dating again and this time, and like the song, love will be found the second time around.
In addition, Shaggy will finally get the nerve to tell Scooby Doo what's going on with he and Velma, and will not wait so long, like the first time they dated, and Shaggy will not, make the same mistakes twice.
Scooby being arrested is very interesting indeed, there was a 1983 episode of the All New Scooby and Scrappy Doo show called Hound of the Scoobyvilles, in which Scooby was accused of being the villain just like in this episode, of course that had the gang proving Scooby wasn't the villain and it was also an homage to the Sherlock Holmes story "Hound of the Baskervilles" which is one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous Holmes stories.
That scene with Professor Pericles, for once I am speechless; WOW! that was one of the best and scariest scenes in a Scooby Doo episode or movie in a long time, and believe me, it's another reason why this is one of the best Scooby series in quite some time.
Speaking of that scene, if you were around to remember the original run of Scooby Doo on CBS(I of course wasn't), Scooby Doo was originally supposed to be pretty scary and frightening, but because CBS thought the show would be too frightening Hanna and Barbera repitched the show and eventually rechristened the show Scooby Doo Where Are You; that scene with Professor Pericles makes the original Scooby show look like chaild's play.
The Mayo in a Shaggy-Scooby sandwich? Funny, very funny
Is it just me or does this geeky guy remind you a lot of Gibby Norton?
Wow, Shaggy stood up for Velma? Nice
Velma's mom makes a reappearance and a Wax Phantom reference? Double cool and doubly awesome
That robot spider or whatever that was, very creepy
Scooby getting handcuffed? Say it aint so
Wait, if Scooby is a dog, then why is he getting arrested by the police? Shouldn't he go to animal control?
No Scooby Doo in the Mystery Machine is a little weird, kind of unusual
Velma Delma Doo? Oookay
Velma still seems bossy, hmm...
Crystal Cove has an animal asylum? Is this the first place that has something like that? It might be
Whoa! Crazy Monkey
These animals seem, I don't know, creepy, weird and well, not much to say there
NO WAY! We get to see Professor Pericles! And he looks strange, and he speaks! Makes sense
How did the Parrot do that?
Dude, this parrot might not be Mr. E, but he's psycho!
Beware of those closest to you? Especially you Frederick? Uh oh, I don't like the sound of this
Jason? Umm... that sounds familar; and he's obsessed! I mean literally obsessed, he's nuts
So... she's saying that he built the dog to break up Mystery Inc.? Um... couldn't Velma have done the same thing? Just saying
That robotic dog is creepy; he really looks creepy
Oh yeah, the guards at the Asylum actually using real Guns? WOW; oh, and that dog still looks creepy, especially without his disguise
Shaggy and Scooby Doo look like they're friends again, awwwww
Jeez Velma, even in a crisis you still want him to decide!
Way to go Scooby Doo!!!! Time to Heel? Brilliant line
Ouch, that robot dog is going to the scrap heap; oh and Fred should stop his jokes, now
Play Dead? Scooby's getting pretty hard core, I like it
Man, that Jason's Mom is psycho! Seriously, she is nuts
Uh oh, Velma's not happy at all
Was that Yogi Bear?
The Parrot escaped? Uh oh, no good can come of this
A preview of next week? Awesome, and my favorite line of that promo: "We have to go use the bathroom, oui oui", very nice
Well, our first new Scooby Doo Mystery Inc episode in a few weeks; I loved Shaggy standing up for Velma, but her reaction to them breaking up? not good at all, I think it's going to take a while for her to get over this, but she will; and then once the end of the season comes they'll be back together and Scooby will be fine with it.
As for my grade: I am going to give this one an 8.5, not exceptional, but still very good; looking forward to next week where apparently the gang tackles a vampire, see you then.
